Although my posts have fallen by the wayside, I've been enjoying communication via images. In other words, I'm hooked on Instagram. Find me here.

Deciding what these want to be.

Scratching my 90's itch.

Roots, rainiers and bings.

Seattle Taiwanese joint feeling like a throwback from my aunt's living room.

I've been quiet lately.

Spring has been so warm and beautiful, I wouldn't dare sully it with words.

Been busy making, focusing, exploring and laughing my pants off...

Thrifted a pair of amazing woven raffia mules and a soft, striped pashmina.

This Summer's color scheme.

Craving Vietnamese papaya salad sans green papaya. Golden beets, radishes and the crunchiest market carrots made great stand-ins.

New slash old technology as vintage brass bookend. Remember when computers took up entire rooms?

Been trying to work out my drawing muscles again. Facets and gold for a friend.

My sometime office view aka freelancing has its perks.

True story...

Guess who? Best fan art ever... #rupaulsdragrace

Warm days and cold nights. Catch some rays while you can. Those beams trick the buds into an early Spring. I don't mind...
I've had places to go, and things to do. A chance to stop and warm the knees is always welcome.

Been passing on my knit projects to friends, and finally knitted something for myself.
Sitting in the sweet spot at Spike's enjoying a delicious Americano, house pop on Pandora,
and feeling grateful for creative hands and simply enjoying life.

Camellia my love....

Spring's easy tears

Raise the red lantern. Escaped the Chinese New Year crush, and found a nice spot to toast the snakes.

Finally found the right red.

I went to Yountville recently, in the company of a lovely friend, and a couple of 4-legged cutie patooties.
It was nice to slow down, take stock, look at trees.... Caked mud on my skin, took a mineral bath, slept like a dream,
drank a selection of bubblies for breakfast, and ate a few towers of amazing seafood.

A welcomed luxury, comma and precursor to my momentary escape from the city. The beauty in yellow.

Pre-trip breakfast of gluten-free lemon ricotta pancakes with raspberry sauce.

First project of the year completed! It knitted up surprisingly fast.

I'm on such a knitter's high that I may tackle another hat soon.

Colors are wonky, but that's Instagram for you. First color is closest to actual shade.

Anyways, YAY!

Let's bang out 2013:
cut our bangs,
light the world on fire,
bang a drum...
Keep blazing a path
to self-realization,
and remembering to share laughs
and give love
along the way.

Lastly, do it in style...

I used to hike hours to get to an island waterfall that entailed descending into a valley,
scaling a muddy slope I swear felt like a 90-degree angle,
with only an old hemp rope and tree roots to hold onto.
Of course all this effort involved a prize,
which was the amazing aforementioned waterfall that spilled into a pool.
My favorite thing to do was get inside the fall, that was as tight as a closet,
and feel the pounding gush of water fall on my head.

Forward, onward, creative thinkers...

Mariko Mori

When I was island-bound, my friends and I would swim in the ocean during a full moon's night, and watch our wading shadows lightly reflected straight down onto the sand floor. Some nights I napped near a rocky cliff till the sun broke on the horizon. The marriage of the sun and the moon.... I love the concept of this artist's piece
--I wish I could sleep there.

Mariko Mori & Ross Lovegrove

I like this conversation... There's this Star Trekiness with an aesthetic sensitivity going on.

It's wet and dreary and rainy, and I've been sick with a festering cold for weeks. Apart from popping vitamin C like a mad woman, I'm finding my slight addiction to Polyvore as soothing as a zinc-filled cough drop. In my parallel universe, I'm faring the weather in these...

More flies with honey, but make sure your intent is on point.
There's a balance in the daily exchange, help me float above the tightrope.
Speaking from the inner voice is more difficult than looking someone in the eye.
When response to crisis is swift, why is it questioned?
Lend me your hand....
